Hacking Has anyone tried coldboothax?

[TheZander]

Hmm, well this definitely leads credence as to why people shouldn't be attempting this without considering the consequences.

I was under the assumption that the home menu still was just there because I was thinking the homemenu was getting loaded from somewhere. But thinking about it, I'm guessing an infinite loop of nothing would happen.

But instead you could cold boot into hbl and you could find a way out I suppose. Just not CFWbooter.

Dude you should be the mascot for the forgotten quick start menu, it actually beats coldboothax in boot time speed and still lets you access sysNAND and is brick free #NEXOCUBE4QUICKSTART

I don't understand... if run a game from quick start menu, then it doesn't need the sig.patches for the wupinstalled games that would normally need or what??? I'm genuinely confused...

if you use coldboothax (edit of system.xml) to load a VC game at boot, and you don't have the fw.bin on your SD card (or no SD card inserted), what will happen? it just loads sysnand?
if not, there's no way to load sysNAND at boot and bypass the custom fw.bin
Or maybe you have to put the official unpatched fw.bin to load sysNAND?

fw.img not bin (that has been bothering me everytime you post it)
I think the app won't run as it looks for fw.img on your sd card. The unpatched won't work as the system gets hardcoded to run what the homemenu is which is the ds vc.

ahh, sorry about that filename
I'll try to remember that

When you say fw.bin is that referencing a NAND backup? Like the bin files created with those partition backup programs? or is it synonymous with the fw.img?

the problem with coldboothax is that it replaces the homemenu with whatever you put in title id or so I've heard anyway so even booting clean won't fix that

 

[xtheman]

What could fix it is maybe a fw.img that patches the system.xml to the homemenu title

it's a mistake from my part, I used "bin" instead of "img", sorry.

 

[TheZander]

This is why there is a need for an earlier exploit in the boot process?

Whenever the system.xml is called it needs to have an alternative. Because I am guessing that is the only time the title id for the menu is being opened? other than the home button I guess? There is a way of jsut having a simplified HBL though right? That has you click a button to open the menu from the title ID?

I noticed after I posted, wasn't sure how to acknowledge I had seen your reply to the other guy afterwards and figured I would just let it play out because it was a minor thing.

I thought that maybe .bin was a way of referencing a nand file oppose to the img thing.

Is there any way to use the Quick Launch menu with sigpatched sysNAND? If I set it on, the Wii U doesn't turn off properly. It blinks orange and I'm forced to shut it down by pressing the Power button for a few seconds.

 

[KevinX8]

Dudes if you want fastest cold to hacked boot time just use quick start its great implementation by nintendo

Yeah you have to hard shutdown to avoid that but its much better than killing your sysNAND

 

[GodlikeStatus]

ehe, i agree

hey man least u tried and i appreciate people like you doing stuff so we can learn little bit more
also at least ur gamepad will still work the console it self it quite cheap to rebuy

Can you bypass the "press the power button 4 seconds etc." message if you use the Quick Launch menu to boot directly into IOSUhax?

EXACTLY this literally the best coldboothax atm

Its basically the same as coldbooting. Just one extra button press.

If anything, the quick launcher could have some priiloader-esque settings added. But thats not even necessary.

He must of made that post at like the same time since the commit was just 2 hours ago.

What does quicklaunch have to do with anything though? Is that when the gamepad lights up and gives you boot options before actually turning on the wiiu?
